Our Preparedness Plan for COVID-19 – Unusual Times, Modern Solutions

A Letter to Our Community

With the spread of COVID-19 and its growing impact on our world, we are clearly in a time of significant uncertainty.

Our center has been closely monitoring and preparing for all the possible scenarios and ensuring we have the right plans and resources in place, defined principally by the expert guidance provided by the CDC and local public health authorities. We are taking every precaution at our center to keep our staff and patients safe and healthy.

The Chesapeake Center has a long history of adapting to change, and we are committed to ensuring continuity of care.

As of now, our offices remain open for in-person visits. We will continue to err on the side of caution as we monitor this rapidly evolving situation. Please don’t hesitate to contact us should you have any questions or concerns.

We have outlined below all relevant information that we feel is helpful at this time.

Our Preparedness Plan

We have established a structure for telehealth services.
If you or your child is unable to attend your scheduled appointments, or if our center are prompted by health officials to close temporarily.

Virtual Appointments

The Chesapeake Center uses Doxy.com, a teleconferencing system for telehealth, much like Skype, but HIPAA-compliant.

Phone appointments

Electronic Prescriptions

We can send prescriptions electronically. Most insurance companies also have a mail-order pharmacy that can deliver your medication to your home.

Continued Support

Our administrative team has been equipped to telework from home for years, providing uninterrupted service to our patients.

Telemedicine with Zoom

If you are having symptoms of a respiratory infection, and/or fever, please call the office to arrange a virtual appointment

You can use Zoom through a browser or download an app for your phone. Download Here

If you prefer, we also offer Doxy.com as a telemed alternative.
